The artist - Attilio Chien

My mother passed away forty years ago. 

Over eighty years ago, there was a woman named "Wu Xue-Zhen." She loved Western culture and was essentially Audrey Hepburn’s biggest fan; from her style, gestures, and clothing to the way she spoke, she was just as elegant and charming as Hepburn. She loved wearing backless dresses and low-cut tops, and even though people would stare or gossip back then, she didn't care—she just insisted on being her true self.

In my memories, she always loved to kiss my face and tell me, "Mommy loves you." To me, a "kiss" is the very way my mother showed her love. This is the inspiration behind my "Kiss" series; I want to dedicate this love to my dear mother.

母親離開這世界已經四十年了。 八十多年前有一位「吳雪真」的女子。她熱愛西方文化，是奧黛麗赫本的頭號粉絲，打扮、舉手投足還是說話，都如赫本般優雅迷人。她喜歡穿著露背與低胸裝，即便當時遭受旁人側目與指指點點，她也毫不在意，堅持做真實的自己。

我記憶中的她，總愛親吻我的臉，對我說：「媽媽愛你。」 對我而言，「親吻」就是母親愛我的方式。

這是我創作《Kiss》系列作品的初衷，這份愛，我想獻給我親愛的媽媽。
